A/N: thanks for the reviews so far, keep up the feedback!
okie dokie, so here's the next chapter, where Alec pays Max another visit. I've noticed everyone is just loving the evil bitch Renfro, so I'm planning on working in a scene between her and Alec in this chapter.
as always, please read and review, I live for feedback!
...
Max moved to the corner of her cell, pulling her knees up to her chest as the door to her humble abode was opened, and Alec walked in.
She was surprised that he wasn't smirking this time, but didn't look at him long enough to bother figuring out why.
"Max?"
She dug her nails into her arms, keeping her eyes closed against her knees.
"Hey, are you okay?" he wondered, crouching next to her. "Should I call someone?"
He put his hand on her arm, and she hissed.
"Maxie?"
She whimpered, and he pushed a strand of hair away from her face as she raised her head and brought his lips to hers.
He hesitated for a second, but remembering the bliss he'd experienced last night, he quickly brushed away his reservations and started kissing her back.
...
Max was becoming more adjusted to the time, the longer she'd been there.
She didn't need a watch or a window to tell that Alec had come to her cell earlier in the evening than the two times before, and that morning was still hours away.
They lay curled together on the floor, blanket under them, sheet above them.
Max hadn't wanted to fall asleep in his arms again, so she had grabbed the blanket and laid down on the floor, but he had joined her, and she didn't have the strength to push him away.
He was asleep, she could tell by his breath on her neck, and the slowed beating of his heart against her back.
I have to get out of here ... this place, it's changing me already, I can feel it. This thing that's happening with Alec ... it's not because of me being in heat. I mean, me jumping his bones is because I'm in heat, and Renfro is a sadistic bitch, but these ... feelings ... I have to get out of here. Back to a world that actually makes sense.
Max sighed and stretched her body, uncomfortable from lying on the floor.
Well, this was pretty much a pointless idea.
"You know, we could go up on the bed," Alec suggested from behind her.
She froze. She hadn't even felt him wake up ... if he'd even been asleep.
"Um, okay," she said, blinking a few times, and then wrapping herself in the sheet and walking over to the bed.
Alec chuckled at her modesty, but wrapped the blanket around himself and joined her, wrapping his strong arms securely around her tiny frame, more pleased than he should be that she didn't protest.
...
"Report, 494," Renfro demanded.
"Successful copulation with Ma- 452 last night," Alec said.
"Very good," Renfro said, and eerily pleased smile on her face.
Alec stood, waiting to be told to leave, but instead Renfro fixed him with a stare.
"Are you aware, 494, that 452 is planning to escape our facility?"
Alec maintained a neutral expression. "I was not, Ma'am."
"I see," she said.
"What would you like me to do about that, Ma'am?" Alec wondered, hoping he wouldn't be told to punish Max."
Renfro smiled. "Nothing ... yet."
Alec stared at her. "Nothing?"
"We've injected 452 with a virus, harmful only to a certain individual that 452 knows on the outside world. We want her to escape, we want her to infect him, we want her to bring him to us for a cure. You will follow 452 once she escapes, and you will find this "Eyes Only" that has been giving Manticore so much grief. Do you understand your assignment?"
Alec pursed his lips, but nodded. "Yes, Ma'am."
...
It took her another three days, and a run-in with a dog-man named Joshua, but finally, Max was escaping. She had been surprised that Alec had been so willing to help her, but she guessed he was just feeling guilty for taking advantage of her.
Whatever ... she planned on putting this place, and her feelings for Alec behind her the second she was outside the fence.
Which, she was surprised again, to very little effort.
She had ran for 5 straight miles before she let herself relax. She'd done it, she was out. First things first, she had to see her friends. And Logan.
...
End of chapter four.
